[First year of learning Japanese]

"But I am not convinced you can actually reach fluency using this method. 

 

By just reading, you can attain literacy, but your speaking, listening, and writing skills will be far poorer."

 

 

To this day, even after JLPT N1, I cannot handwrite past jp 101 kanjis. I'm not going to bother either. Only time I will is if I want to work/live in Japan. My point is that, learn the language to serve your personal goals. It's a waste of time in my opinion to learn the whole package when you're not going to use them. I personally learned the language mainly to read and so I used this method because it gets me there ASAP. It gives you a great foundation. I can easily learn speaking, writing, and listening whenever I want to because this method made me learn all the Japanese fundamentals. Hours of watching anime and hearing VN voices lets me get used to hearing the language; Hours of listening allows me to have premade sentences for speaking (which in my opinion is a great start to fluent speaking). Writing is its own beast.

 

I wouldn't claim anyone can be "fluent" with this method, but it is a nice start for people who are into VNs.

I support this success story. I'm glad the method that worked for me, worked for you. This method does only work for certain mindsets. But the payoff is certainly huge.

The piano in this piece is great. I'm trying to learn it.

[Japanese Word Processor / JWPce - The dictionary]

Jparser sometimes gives quite weird definitions (feedback from Nosebleed).

It also makes people lazy to learn the words themselves since parsing is done automatically and others tend to breeze through the English. (feedback from a user named fun2novel).

Forcing you to parse, at least for me, forced me to also try to learn/remember the words. It's an incentive for me so I can lessen the times I manually highlight.
